What are the Get Ready Seminars?
The Get Ready Seminars are held for students selected for a Summer Programme. They are optional and are delivered entirely in English by mother-tongue teachers who will help you to prepare for your academic experience abroad so you can get the best out of it. The aim is to provide support and information on:

• how to give academic presentations
• academic writing
• improve your listening skills to better understand lectures

The Get Ready Seminars will help you become more confident in your language use.

Who are the seminars for?
They are aimed at students selected for a Summer Programme who want to become more confident before they start their programme.
